A good size home with barn. Ideal for a B&B !!

Ref 6441S

Price: 189.000€ (agency fee included)

A very nice stone built house and huge barn that has been partially converted to contain a fully independent apartment. Actually, the main house was originally one large house and one smaller, that are now joined together internally.

The house itself is very French in style. Ok, so we are in France - but you know what I mean! You don't?? Well look in the dining room - there is a wardrobe! Sometimes decor style can influence what the potential buyer thinks but you have to look past that. There's lots of exposed beams and stonework. All in all it is in very good condition.

*3 Bedrooms (one measuring 50m2!)

*Kitchen/dining room of 38m2

*Lounge

*Bathroom

*2 bedroom apartment with bathroom.

*Barn with cellar and workshop.

* 1099m2 land

It really is quite a roomy spacious house. The lounge is a little on the cosy side but it has a lovely open cantou fireplace so it really could be a snuggle room on the cooler evenings!

The kitchen and dining room combined make a very good space indeed. Two good sized bedrooms and one huge one in the attic space.

Bathroom? Well that is French too.... but it is large! Contains bath and separate shower.

To the side of the house is the large barn. Stone built and in very good condition. Part of the barn has been transformed into a little apartment used by current owners family and friends. This actually has one decent sized bedroom and one smaller one with bathroom. The rest of the barn is workshop and storage area.

This is where I think this property could be a good investment for someone who perhaps would like to combine home and income opportunity. The rest of the barn could easily be transformed into another one or two apartments and because of the location, between Souillac and Sarlat, this could be just the right spot for trapping tourists - literally!

One of the biggest negatives about this property or in fact a huge positive, depending on how you look at it, is that it is situated on quite a busy main road. However, the price has been adjusted accordingly so you are getting a superb stone built home with barn for a very reasonable price tag. Also, if your intention is to have a little income from perhaps a B&B business, then it really is ideally situated.
